Returning to October 27, 2024, Franchi witnessed a real nightmare with the betel nut team. Roma, then led by Ivan Juric, was completely broken in 1-5 defeat against Fiorentina, a match not only reflected the professional crisis but also the alarm of the mental and identity of the team.
Juric “flying chair” less than 2 weeks later, on November 10. And from that time, a new page was opened under the dynasty of … Claudio Ranieri.
- Roma VS Fiorentina football judgment, 23:00 on 4/5: Losing points in the capital
Ranieri “heals” Roma
Based in the among skepticism, but Ranieri was the one who laid the foundation for the miraculous makeover. He did not bring miracles, but simply aroused what Roma had: collective spirit and will to fight.
Ranieri helps the dressing room become solidarity, giving opportunities for all, including the names that seem to be forgotten. And most importantly, he quickly found the winning formula: a flexible Roma in tactics, ready to change the diagram depending on the opponent, and make the most of the quality of inherent in the squad.
By the end, Roma has never lacked quality factors. The problem is that they cannot promote that under Juric.
Roma returned to the top 4 race
Round 35 Serie A pushed the script to the climax: Roma met Fiorentina himself, but this time was in a survival race for the Champions League. From the first place of the season, Ranieri’s team has now climbed to 6th place with 60 points, only 2 points behind Juventus is exactly 2 points. 6 months ago, who dared to think that?
Fiorentina still retains a stable performance throughout the season, always around the European Cup. But compared to a Roma, it is clear that Italiano’s teachers and students are the more pressure.
The dark night is over, Roma has been different
From 1-5 defeat on Franchi to the upcoming rematch, Roma seemed to have risen from the ashes. Names like Hummels, who “opened” the loss of Fiorentina with an own goal, or Hermoso, who was kicked out that day, all found a more positive image. But the greatest merit still belongs to Ranieri, who is not noisy, not colorful, but always knows how to make Roma raise his head.
If he won against Fiorentina in this rematch, Roma would not only hate for the forgotten defeat in October, but also temporarily put one foot in the Top 4, something that no one dared to dream in early November.
Fiorentina was once a abyss, and now is also a milestone for Roma to measure the return. A confrontation with many meaningful floors and the time for Ranieri’s army to prove: The dark night was over, and the dawn was coming in the sky of the capital.
Roma has made the most points Serie A since Ranieri came to power
With the circuit of 18 unbeaten matches, Roma has earned 47 points since the appointment of “the welding man”. That figure surpasses both teams racing Scudetto: Inter (46 points) and Napoli (45 points)
